"Okay, Kong Ming is secretly responsible for training assassins." Liu Bei said.

Zhuge Liang showed excitement on his face, this time he was really excited, and being able to hand over such an important team to him was enough to see that Liu Bei attached great importance to him, "Liang will definitely live up to the trust of the lord." ”

Liu Bei nodded and continued: "Kong Ming, after the battle in Jingzhou, you must have also seen that the Cao army has elite cavalry, which is invincible on the battlefield, and the terrain of Yizhou is dangerous, and it is extremely difficult to train elite cavalry, but the soldiers in Sichuan are extremely elite, and if you select elite soldiers from them for training, they will definitely be able to play a huge role on the battlefield in the future." ”

The successive battles made Liu Bei realize the huge role played by an elite soldier on the battlefield, just like the heavy cavalry under Cao Cao, once charged on the battlefield, ordinary teams could only dodge when they saw it, and after the war horses were equipped with armor, the chances of these cavalry surviving on the battlefield were greatly improved.

Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, if the soldiers are trained to endure war, they will definitely be able to play a huge role on the battlefield." This is also what he wanted to persuade Liu Bei after entering Yizhou, but he didn't expect Liu Bei to mention this matter as the lord.

The role of elite soldiers on the battlefield in the future is irreplaceable, and in terms of the number of elite soldiers, Lu Bu's strength is the strongest, which is recognized by all princes, whether it is an elite foot soldier or an elite cavalry, Lu Bu has been shown on the battlefield outside Huguan and on the battlefield of the decisive battle with Yuan Shao.

Liu Bei said: "In Kong Ming's opinion, when Sergeant Sichuan is training, what kind of elite soldiers should be important? ”

"Foot soldier." Zhuge Liang replied without hesitation: "The terrain in the middle of the river, even if the cavalry enters it, it is difficult to make great achievements. ”

"These soldiers will also use blades forged from a hundred steels, in Kong Ming's opinion, who is the most appropriate person to train this elite?" Liu Bei asked.

Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said: "In the opinion of his subordinates, you might as well let General Guan be responsible for training the foot soldiers, General Guan has a foot soldier in his hand, who is brave and good at fighting on the battlefield, even in the face of cavalry, he will not back down, if these foot soldiers can be equipped with well-equipped blades, they will definitely be able to play a great role on the battlefield." ”

"My subordinates have heard that there is a team under the command of the Marquis of Jin, called the Modao Army, these foot soldiers use the Mo knife in the mouth of the Marquis of Jin, although the Modao Army is a foot soldier, the performance on the battlefield is indeed extremely powerful, after the cavalry of the princes' coalition army entered the state, it was defeated in the hands of this infantry called the Mo Dao Army, if the lord can get the Mo Dao, train a Mo Dao Army, and it will be able to play a great role in the future war." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei was also a little depressed, he found that all military matters must be taken as an example of the army under Lu Bu, as if the elite soldiers under Lu Bu were endless.

"If you Mo Dao, I'm afraid that the Marquis of Jin will not sell it easily." Liu Bei frowned slightly, since it was training elite soldiers, he naturally hoped that the stronger the ability of this elite soldier, the better, and the greater the role it could play in future wars.

Zhuge Liang said: "The lord can send a merchant to Chang'an to test it." ”

"Just in Kong Ming's words." Liu Bei nodded and agreed.

Zhuge Liang said suddenly: "My subordinates thought of one thing, that is, the Marquis of Jin selected 10,000 elite people from the army outside Chang'an City and made a separate one, I'm afraid there will be another big move." ”

Liu Bei looked worried, he suddenly understood what Yuan Shao's mood was at the beginning, Yizhou has a dangerous checkpoint as a backing, and he has to worry about the threat from Chang'an, Yuan Shao's psychological pressure can be imagined at the beginning, no wonder Yuan Shao was so afraid when facing the Youzhou army.

Regardless of the fact that the coalition of princes was still attacking Huguan and was about to return to Jizhou, that was because he understood that this army was trained by Lu Bu and was extremely powerful on the battlefield, and the facts proved that the Youzhou army was indeed shining on the battlefield in Jizhou.

As if he saw Liu Bei's worries, Zhuge Liang said: "Lord, although the Marquis of Jin is strong, there are many people in Yizhou, and there is enough food and grass, as long as the elite is trained, why worry about not being able to seize Jingzhou in the future and pacify the rebels in Chang'an." ”

On the surface, Liu Bei naturally wanted to call Lu Bu the Marquis of Jin, but in secret, what kind of title it was, officials and generals all knew it, judging from Lu Bu's performance, he was an out-and-out traitor, and he could even do things like being the king.

"My lord, the Marquis of Jin announced the matter of claiming the king of the world, in order to confront the Han family, and now Cao Cao has Liu Cong in his hands, Yizhou has a saint, and the two parties occupy the righteousness, and Sun Ce and Lu Bu are nominally weak, after Lu Bu becomes the king, this situation can change dramatically." Zhuge Liang said.

If the same thing happened to Liu Bei, he would also persuade Liu Bei to become the king, and only after letting the civil and military generals under his command see hope, they would follow, otherwise, why should he let the civil and military generals under his command do their best.

People are selfish, if they have enough interests, even if they are brothers, they can turn against each other, let alone the officials and generals under their rule.

Liu Bei said: "In any case, when Lu Bu is king, he is provoking the Han family. ”

"The lord must not have a bad relationship with the Marquis of Jin at such a time, not only can he not give an order to reprimand, but also send someone to congratulate him, so as to show the identity of the Marquis of Jin." Zhuge Liang said.

Liu Bei pondered for a while, nodded and agreed, Lu Bu represents the powerful force among the princes, and the other princes are also mainly befriending Lu Bu.

After the two talked for a long time, Liu Bei got up and said, "Kong Ming will recuperate from his injuries first, and then return to the general's mansion after his injuries have healed." ”

"Whoa." Zhuge Liang arched his hand.

After Liu Bei left, Zhuge Liang looked at the injury on his left arm, thinking of the assassination that night, he was also a little afraid in his heart, if he hadn't paid more attention to Shi A's direction at that time, I am afraid that this arrow would have killed him, for the strength of these assassins, Zhuge Liang had a deep fear, and at the same time some understood, why Fa Zheng returned to Yizhou from Jiameng Pass, a large number of guards were arranged around the mansion, it must have been Fa Zheng who noticed this in advance, and Meng Da, the guard of Jiameng Pass, was assassinated in Jiameng Pass.

This kind of thing made Zhuge Liang more curious about these assassins under Lu Bu's command, but since Liu Bei handed over such an important matter as training assassins to him, he would do his best to complete it, and after controlling such elite forces in secret, his position under Liu Bei would be more stable.
